-PART ONE-
~La Cala de Mijas~
Warm sunshine beat down on Jennifer Jareau's legs as she sat by the pool watching her husband and son play. The weather was absolutely beautiful, and every guest at the Los Amigos Beach Club was out soaking up every second of it, as was evident by the amount of people playing in and around the water.
"Daddy! Daddy, catch me!" came the excited voice of her oldest boy, Henry. She looked up towards the pool, spotting her little mini-me standing fearlessly at the edge of the water, his knees bent and his bottom sticking out as he gathered up all his might to jump in. Her husband, Will, was waiting in the water, his hands held out ready to catch his exuberant little boy, a happy smile on his face.
With the biggest jump he could muster, followed by the cutest little splash, Henry leapt into Will's arms, giggling as he surfaced from beneath the water. JJ watched, smiling as Will lifted Henry up onto his hip and began wading through the water, gently splashing Henry as he went. Her heart swelled with love; she loved watching Will with his boys. He was such an attentive, doting dad, and she knew Henry and his little brother Michael were very lucky little boys to have him in their lives.
Looking down into her arms, her smile softened as her eyes met the drowsy little face of six month old Michael. He was on her breast, still feeding ever so slightly as he fought off an afternoon nap just that little bit longer. One of his hands was resting on top of her breast, patting against her skin every now and then as his little eyes began to drift closed.
"It's a hard life being a baby, isn't it buddy?" she chuckled, stroking the fine hair on top of his head as she shifted against the recliner. "Really getting into this afternoon siesta thing"
Michael grunted, kicking his legs in agreement as he finally lost the battle with sleep and let his eyes close. JJ chuckled, waiting for a minute until his latch had loosened, before shifting him in her arms and pulling her swim top back up.
The last couple of years of their lives had been hell. After deciding when Henry was one that they wanted another baby, their happiness at falling pregnant so quickly had been cut short by JJ losing the pregnancy at eleven weeks. Devastated, it had taken time for them to feel ready to try again, and then it had taken even longer than that for JJ to finally get pregnant. Anxiety had followed her throughout the pregnancy, having her convinced that something bad was going to happen. But here they were, with their healthy, happy baby boy Michael. To reward themselves for the stress they had been through, they had decided a family holiday was in order. And so it was that now, they were sunning it up in La Cala de Mijas, a resort destination just outside of Malaga, in the south of Spain.
"Mommy"
The little whisper to her left broke her from her thoughts. Turning her head, she found Henry leaning on the edge of her sun lounge, smiling up at her as he reached out to pat his brother's head.
"He sleepin'?" Will asked, sitting down on the end of the lounge and pulling Henry into his lap. Henry kept stretching out, his chubby little fingers grasping for his brother.
"Yeah. Out like a light. Milk drunk," JJ chuckled. Will grinned, holding on as Henry tried to fight his way out of his arms with a big grunt.
"Daddy, I hug Michael!"
"Not right now buddy," Will laughed. "Michael's sleepin'! And you're all wet! Like a fish. Are you a fish?"
"No silly," Henry giggled, bringing a smile to JJ's face. "I'm a boy!"
Laughing, Will tickled Henry's belly, before pressing a kiss to the top of Henry's head. Almost immediately, Henry yawned widely, bringing his hand up to rub his eyes.
"I think someone is all worn out from the pool. What do you say to a nap little man?" Will asked, cuddling Henry closer.
"No," Henry grumbled, trying to prove he was awake, but failing when another yawn snuck up on him.
"We can go swimming again later. Maybe at the beach," JJ said gently. "But how about we all go and have a little sleep first. Otherwise you'll be too tired to play"
Still rubbing his eyes, Henry nodded, allowing Will to wrap him in a towel and pick him up. JJ quickly gathered all of their belongings back into the tote bag she'd brought from the apartment, cradling Michael against her chest and slinging the bag over her shoulder as she stood up and began to walk beside Will.
It was only a short walk back to their apartment, which was on the ground floor of the complex on the far side of the pool. Shivering a little as they entered the air-conditioned space, they easily went about getting the boys into bed. Henry showed no protest, and before long, both boys were sound asleep for a much needed afternoon nap.
"Ugh… next time, you can get Henry out of his swimsuit. It's like trying to pull off a second skin," Will chuckled as he came into the kitchen, now dried and dressed in a t-shirt and shorts. JJ smiled, sliding a hand up around his neck as he came to stand in front of her. His hands came to rest on her waist as he leaned down and pressed a kiss to her lips. It wasn't exceedingly passionate, but it still sparked something within JJ that made her pull him closer.
"You know… we've probably got a solid hour before the boys wake up," she breathed against his skin as they broke apart.
"I like the way you think," Will whispered, before lifting her up to sit on the counter and bringing his lips crashing back against hers. She brought her fingers up into his hair, tangling them through his dampened waves and holding tight as she locked her legs around his waist. It had been a while since they had been able to find the time for each other, so it wasn't taking much to put them in the mood.
One of his hands came to her breast, palming it roughly. Her breasts were still sensitive from breastfeeding, and she let out a low groan as she tipped her head back. Will's lips came to her neck, working on the sweet spot underneath her jaw that always got her hot and ready.
"Gotta be quiet babe," he whispered against her skin, sliding two fingers underneath the fabric of her bikini bottoms. She bit her lip, looking back at him as she brought her hands to the button of his shorts. With almost expert ability, she undid the button and zipper in record time and slipped her hand inside, finding him almost completely hard and aching for her touch.
"Someone's excited," she giggled, kissing him deeply again as she began to gently stroke him up and down. Will let out a long breath, closing his eyes and clutching JJ even closer, bucking into her hand when she ran her thumb over his tip.
"Oh jeez… JJ," he gasped.
"What do you want to do?" JJ breathed.
"I want to be inside you," Will said softly through interrupted breathing. "God, I feel like a horny teenager"
JJ laughed quietly, patting his cheek before pressing a kiss to his lips. "Don't forget the condom then"
"Shit," Will hissed, pulling away and looking around the room. "Hang on"
"Why don't you have one on you at all times?" JJ teased as he hurried towards their room.
"I'm sorry I didn't immediately put one in my shorts when I was getting changed ten minutes ago," Will called over his shoulder, making her laugh again.
Minutes later, he was back, a square foil packet clutched triumphantly in his hand. JJ immediately pushed his shorts down, pulling him a little closer as he rolled the condom on. Once it was on, he brought his hands to the waistband of JJ's bikini bottoms, tugging them down her toned legs before pulling her close.
"You're so beautiful," he breathed, gently stroking between her legs to make sure she was ready for him. Moments later, he lined up at her entrance and slowly pushed into her, making her mouth fall open in a silent gasp. She clutched at him, pulling him as close as possible as he set up a gentle rhythm, his hips rocking against her pelvis.
They were focused on staying silent, not wanting to wake the boys. It was probably just moments later, but felt like an eternity, when the orgasm washed over them, both of them stifling their groans as they came. Will brought a hand to the back of her head, resting his forehead against hers as they caught their breath.
"I love you," he said softly, sliding his hand around to cup her cheek. She flicked her eyes up towards him, the bright blue shining from beneath her lashes. Tipping her face up, she pressed a sweet kiss to his lips, lingering for a few seconds more.
"I'm so glad we're here," she said softly, pushing his still wet hair back from his face. "Not here as in Spain, but… here. Together. After everything we've been through"
Will smiled, pulling back slightly so they were no longer joined. He leaned in, kissing her forehead lovingly as his thumb stroked her cheek.
"It's been a lot," he replied. "But we're ok. We've got our two beautiful boys… we have each other… we have a lot to be grateful for"
Smiling, JJ pecked his lips again, before reaching beside her for the bikini bottoms Will had pulled off her. "I wish this holiday could last forever"
"We could make a lasting souvenir," Will teased, waggling his eyebrows. JJ laughed, swatting his shoulder as she slipped off the bench.
"Nice try, but I'm not having two kids within a year of each other," she chuckled. "Come on. We'll wake the boys if we keep like this"
Making themselves decent again, they walked hand in hand to the patio door. Sliding it open, they stepped into the Spanish sun, leaving the door ajar to listen out for their boys as they took up a seat on the outdoor sofa that overlooked the pool area. The sounds of children squealing and playing floated to their ears.
They were happy. After everything they had been through to get Michael, everything their jobs had put them through… their little family was happy, healthy, and intact.
